The Girls Aloudstar then went on to compare her career with Rihanna's, explaining: "She's been through the same thing absolutely. And you can imagine how intense it is when all the world's eyes are on you. So she knows that feeling.

"But she's free-spirited, she just doesn't give a s**t. Maybe it's going through everything she's gone through that has enabled her to get to that point."

Chezza added: "She's like, 'Whatever. What more can you say about us? You can't hurt us any more'. I love that about her. It's liberating. She's liberal."
